Shoals of Herring - Ewan MacColl[00:00:00]

O it was a fine and a pleasant day[00:00:04]

Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring[00:00:10]

As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger[00:00:16]

For to go and hunt the shoals of herring[00:00:23]

O the work was hard and the hours long[00:00:32]

And the treatment sure it took some bearing[00:00:38]

There was little kindness and the kicks were many[00:00:45]

As we hunted for the shoals of herring[00:00:51]

O we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank[00:01:00]

I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing[00:01:06]

And I used to sleep standing on my feet[00:01:13]

And I'd dream about the shoals of herring[00:01:19]

O we left the homegrounds in the month of June[00:01:28]

And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing[00:01:34]

With a hundred cran of the silver darlings[00:01:40]

That we'd taken from the shoals of herring[00:01:47]

Now you're up on deck you're a fisherman[00:01:56]

You can swear and show a manly bearing[00:02:02]

Take your turn on watch with the other fellows[00:02:08]

While you're searching for the shoals of herring[00:02:15]

In the stormy seas and the living gales[00:02:23]

Just to earn your daily bread you're daring[00:02:29]

From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands[00:02:36]

As you're following the shoals of herring[00:02:42]

O I earned my keep and I paid my way[00:02:51]

And I earned the gear that I was wearing[00:02:58]

Sailed a million miles caught ten million fishes[00:03:05]

We were sailing after shoals of herring[00:03:11]
